WELCOME TO THE GENESIS EXPERIENCE
ADVISING AND RESOURCE
FOR STUDENTS EXPLORING MAJORS
The Genesis Experience was created to support students through the process of selecting a major. Through individual advising, access to information and resources, and workshops, students learn about themselves and the full range of academic options available to them. Choosing a major is exciting, but sometimes difficult. With the help of an advisor, you can make informed, confident decisions about your career path.
Students in the program often have diverse interests and are, in many cases, reflective thinkers who want to gather and consider information and options fully before making important decisions. Our emphasis on exploration and informed decision making helps students understand and channel these strengths. Program staff and faculty advisors take a holistic approach to working with students, helping them to better understand themselves so they can confidently choose their path. They also work with students to provide them with resources and tools to help them explore majors and the careers they lead to.
QUICK FACTS
Whether they have declared a major or not, 75% of students are uncertain about their career choice at college entry.
Between 50-75% of students who enter college with a declared major will change their mind at least once before they graduate.
Some studies have shown that students who begin college undecided display higher levels of academic achievement than students who begin with a major.
Undecided students are likely to value intellectual exploration and development.
